Hi all, i've been using linux for quite a while (most recently ubuntu for a few revisions) and i'd love to try out mint, but everex put some wacky sd card reader in my laptop that prevents most "normal" kernels from booting. The deal is this: I need to blacklist, or some-other-how, prevent the sdhci module from loading in order to install or boot mint.

ubuntu allows me to use the alternate install cd and pass an option to the live cd kernel, specifically:

How is that passed on to the kernel?Perhaps you could start in compatibility mode and edit the options (I think you press tab - it has been changed with Elyssa and I cant really remember, but you are told on the live CD) Then add sdhci.blacklist=yes to the end of the "boot line"(As mentioned in the troubleshooter http://www.linuxmint.com/wiki/index.php ... d_problems)It would take to much resources to develop an alternate install - in this case it is not possible to tweak the installer as easily as with the live CD, we use a tweaked version of Ubiquity
